The new firm of H. A. Morgan & Co. comprising H. A. Morgan and P. J. Dolan, has been dis solved by mutual consent, H. A. Morgan retiring.
 County Treasurer Pomeroy's residence has been completed. His family, consisting of Mrs. Pomeroy and Charlie, Miss Jessie being absent attending school at Silver City, came over from Bowle station Tuesday and are now oc- cupying their new and comfort able home. What pleasure Mir. Pomeroy will lose by not having the excellent water Of Bowie sta ton to drink he can make up by eating the fresh productions of this fertile valley. We are grow ing slowly but surely in this val ley; not day passes that does not add to our population either by immigration or natural causes.
 Quite q number of Cliftonites were visiting here during the week-Messrs. ". $. and F. C.. Barnum, Goodwin, Patterson and Hovey. MT. Hovey was accom- panied by his wife and her sister. They all seemed to enjoy the change of fare, which is nothing surprising. From rawhide beef steaks and oleomargarine, the usual fare of the unfortunate Cliftonite, to spring chicken, fresh eggs and ranch butter is change so great as to tickle the palate of an Apache, much less that of thoroughbred Americans, and it was with reluctance the party re- turned home Saturday, providing themselves, however, with small supply of Gila valley delicacies.
 An inquiry into the condition of the estate of Leonard Smith, bet ter known as Lon Smith, formerly of Clifton; occupied the attention of the Probate Court the greater portion of the week. Tie exami- nation, conducted by P. J. Bolan for the administrator and A. NJ. Patterson for the possessors of the property in dispute, was ex- haustiye and conclusive. From it it would appear that the estate of Lon Smith has an interest in the saloon building known as the Tip Top in Clifton, but how much of an interest will probably have to be decided by the courts.
 The construction of the county hospital, under the superintend- eney of Contractor McCarty, is progressing fairly well and will no doubt be ready for occupancy by January 1, 1888.
 County Recorder and Deputy Clerk of the District Court Pedro Michelena, took his departure Fri day for Tombstone to attend the District Court, which convenes there to morrow. At our last term of Court Judge Barnes noticed how smoothly and expeditiously MT. MIchelena, deputy clerk, per formed his duties, complimented him thereon and extended him an invitation to attend this term of court at Tombstone, as many i'm portant cases are to be tried, and to assist by his ability and experi- ence the clerk there, who is some what inexperienced. We feel proud of Pedro and fattered with the compliment that has been paid him, and know that he will uphold the dignity of old Graham in the city of the doleful name.
 The Hon. Geo. H. Stevens re- turned home yesterday, looking hale and hearty. The dirty slurs of the Tucson Star, in connection with the recent outbreak at the penitentiary, don't seem to effect him. Steve knows he has the greater portion of Gaham county to back him and can therefore af- ford to despise the attacks of such vascillating penny-a-liners as Pin head Huges. CHA.
